As a design journalist and a children’s writer I was very excited to see the graphics for the upcoming Salone del Mobile fair in Milan, one of the biggest design events of the year. The 2023 graphic campaign for the fair, designed by Milan-based Leftloft studio and Gio Pastori, playfully illustrate this through a series of twenty-six brightly colored posters, one for each letter of the alphabet. Pastori is known for his collages and paper-cutting and has been featured in international magazines and newspapers. Pastori got his B.A. in Product Design at Milan’s Polytechnic University and a Postgraduate Certificate in Editorial Illustration at CFP Bauer Milan.
Here are a few of my favorites. Wouldn’t these make a great board book in Italian and English?
